Folk performing art is changing its structure , continuously modifying itself to the needs of the changing situation making it functionally relevant to the society. All this has been effectively brought out in this book.

Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, bestselling author of Peace is Every Step and one of the most respected and celebrated religious leaders in the world, delivers a powerful path to happiness through mastering life's most important skill. How do we say what we mean in a way that the other person can really hear? How can we listen with compassion and understanding? Communication fuels the ties that bind, whether in relationships, business, or everyday interactions. Most of us, however, have never been taught the fundamental skills of communication—or how to best represent our true selves. Effective communication is as important to our well-being and happiness as the food we put into our bodies. It can be either healthy (and nourishing) or toxic (and destructive). In this precise and practical guide, Zen master and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh reveals how to listen mindfully and express your fullest and most authentic self. With examples from his work with couples, families, and international conflicts, The Art of Communicating helps us move beyond the perils and frustrations of misrepresentation and misunderstanding to learn the listening and speaking skills that will forever change how we experience and impact the world.

This book is a study of the growth of human society from the perspective of language. It argues that when humans begin to use language for communication, they develop and use media. Media extend the distance of communication, allowing humans to interact with one another on a large scale and form a large society. Language leads to the dissolution of primitive society and the formation of civilized society. From the formation of civilisation, humans began to group themselves by way of ethnicity or nationality. They have made themselves a people, a community, a nation and a state. They then govern their state through various types of linguistic presentations: appellation, constitution, election, and representation – all linguistic mechanisms that contribute to the building of the state and its system of governance. The spirit of the state is then built through the development of history, philosophy, literature and art, religion and law. Language has preset the whole process of the growth of the state. This book can be a reference book of political science, political linguistics or political philosophy, to be read by university students and professors.

Folk art is as varied as it is indicative of person and place, informed by innovation and grounded in cultural context. The variety and versatility of 300 American folk artists is captured in this collection of informative and thoroughly engaging essays. American Folk Art: A Regional Reference offers a collection of fascinating essays on the life and work of 300 individual artists. Some of the men and women profiled in these two volumes are well known, while others are important practitioners who have yet to receive the notice they merit. Because many of the artists in both categories have a clear identity with their land and culture, the work is organized by geographical region and includes an essay on each region to help make connections visible. There is also an introductory essay on U.S. folk art as a whole. Those writing about folk art to date tend to view each artist as either traditional or innovative. One of the major contributions of this work is that it demonstrates that folk artists more often exhibit both traits; they are grounded in their cultural context and creative in the way they make work their own. Such insights expand the study of folk art even as they readjust readers' understanding of who folk artists are.
